On state television employees were already assuming that the statement would soon come to rebuild the program at short notice to report the death of the former president. Hong Kong's Asia Television reported on television Thursday night, finally, Jiang Zemin had "died of disease." Then the authorities decided to act: Reports of the death of the 84-year-old politician has been denied.
